Pediatric speech therapy helps children find their voice and connect with the people around them. Our speech-language pathologists support first words, clear speech sounds, understanding and using language, social communication, and feeding and swallowing skills. Through games, songs, books, and everyday routines, we make practice feel like play and coach parents with simple strategies to keep the progress going between visits. From a toddler's first two-word phrase to a preschooler's clearer "s" sounds, we celebrate every small win along the way. ![Child pointing to animal pictures on a speech therapy worksheet](https://www.growingmotiontherapy.com/hubfs/growing-motion-speech-therapy.jpg) ## Areas we address ![gm-services-icons\_1](https://www.growingmotiontherapy.com/hubfs/gm-services-icons_1.svg) Late talking and first words ![gm-services-icons\_2](https://www.growingmotiontherapy.com/hubfs/gm-services-icons_2.svg) Speech sound clarity and articulation ![gm-services-icons\_3](https://www.growingmotiontherapy.com/hubfs/gm-services-icons_3.svg) Understanding and using language ![gm-services-icons\_4](https://www.growingmotiontherapy.com/hubfs/gm-services-icons_4.svg) Social communication and play ![gm-services-icons\_5](https://www.growingmotiontherapy.com/hubfs/gm-services-icons_5.svg) Stuttering and fluency ![gm-services-icons\_6](https://www.growingmotiontherapy.com/hubfs/gm-services-icons_6.svg) Feeding and swallowing ## Support by age ![stroller-icon](https://www.growingmotiontherapy.com/hubfs/stroller-icon.svg) ### Infants & Toddlers: - Few words or not yet combining words - Not yet pointing, waving or responding to their name - Feeding or swallowing challenges ![child](https://www.growingmotiontherapy.com/hubfs/child.svg) ### Preschool & School-Age: - Speech that's hard for others to understand - Trouble following directions or telling stories - Difficulty taking turns or joining play with peers ![development-delays](https://www.growingmotiontherapy.com/hubfs/development-delays.svg) ### Children with Diagnosed Delays or Medical Conditions: - Developmental delays affecting communication - Hearing, neurological or genetic conditions impacting speech - Building confidence communicating at home and school ![shape-frames.ai (1)](https://www.growingmotiontherapy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shape-frames.ai%20(1).png?width=1280&name=shape-frames.ai%20(1).png) ## Who we serve We support families starting with newborns just days or weeks old through toddlerhood, childhood, and adolescence, meeting each child where they are in their development.
